The  following  selection  of  Hymns  has  been 
niade,  at  much  expense  and  care,  expressly  for 
the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church.  'Hie  com- 
piler, is  well  known  to  his  brethren  in  this  vi- 
cinity. He  has  made  his  selections  from  dif- 
ferent hj^mns  published  in  this  country,  and  in 
England,  all  of  which  have  been  aj)proved  by 
the  brethren,  celebrated  for  their  piety,  and 
devotional  feelings.  These  feelings  which  they 
may  excite,  and  the  flame  of  holy  love  which 
they  may  kindle  in  the  Christian's  breast  must 
render  tl;em  of  peculiar  value  to  the  followers 
of  the  divine  Redeemer.  It  is  also  hoped, 
that,  by  the  blessing  of  God,  their  ws«  in  Camp 
and  prayer  Meetings  may  have  a  powerful  ten- 
dency to  alarm  the  fearsof  sinners— cause  them 
to  flee  to  Jesus,  and  prepare  them  to  live  in 
jhat  world, 

"Where  rising  floods  of  knowledge  roll, 
**And  pour,  and  pour  upon  the  Soul."

The  Union. 

1  "ffT'ROM  wlieuce  dotli  this  union  arise, 
-i-  That  hatred  is  coiKjuer'd  Ijy  lore  1 
It  fastens  our  aouh  in  such  ties, 

That  nature  aud  time  can't  remove. 

2  It  cannot  in  Eden  be  found. 

Nor  yet  in  a  paradise  lost ; 
It  grows  on  Imniannel's  ground, 
And  Jesus'  dear  blood  it  did  cost. 
,S  My  friends  are  so  dear  unto  nie, 
Our  hearts  all  united  in  love ; 
Wliere  Jesus  is  gone  we  shall  be. 
In  j-onJcr  blest  mafisions  above. 
4  O  wily  then  so  loth  for  to  part. 

Since  we  shall  e'er  long  meet  again. 
Engrav'd  on  Lnnianuel's  heart; 
At  distance  we  cannot  remain. 
6  An'l  when  we  shall  see  that  bright  day, 
United  v>'ith  aagrls  above. 
No  longer  confin'd  to  our  clay, 
O'erwhehn'd  in  the  ocean  of  love. 
6  Oh  then  with  our  Jcieus  we'll  reign. 
And  at!  lus  bright  glory  shall  eee, 
And  sing  Hallelujah,  amen. 
Amen,  even  so  let  it  be.

The  believer's  hiding  place. 
^  T-f  ^^^'  heavenly  love  tliat  first  began 
A  i     The  scheme  to  rescue  fallen  man  j 
Hail,  matchless,  free,  eternal  grace. 
That  gave  ray  soul  a  hiding  place. 

2  Against  the  God  who  rules  the  sky, 
I  fought  with  hands  uplifted  high; ' 
Despis'd  the  offers  of  his  o^race 
Too  proud  to  seek  a  hiding  place. 

3  Enwrap'd  in  dark,  Egyptian  night, 
And  fond  of  darkness  more  than  light : 
Madly  I  ran  the  sinful  race, 

Secure  without  a  hiding  place. 

4  But,  lo  !  the  eternal  counsel  ran. 
Almighty  love  arrest  the  man. 

I  felt  the  arrows  of  distress 
And  found  I  had  no  hiding  place, 
6  Eternal  justice  stood  in  view. 
To  Sinai's  fiery  mount  I  flew, 
But  justice  cried  with  frowning  fac«, 
This  mountain  is  no  hiding  place. 

6  But,  lo  I  a  heavenly  voice  I  heard. 
And  mercy  to  my  soul  appear'd. 
She  led  me  on  a  pleasing  pace 
To  Jesus  Christ  my  hidincr  place. 

7  Should  storms  of  seven  fold  thunder  roll. 
And  shake  the  globe  from  pole  to  pole. 
No  thunder  bolt  would  daunt  ray  face, 
For  Jesus  is  my  hiding  place. 

8  A  few  more  rolliog  suns,  at  most, 
WUl  land  me  safe  on  Canaan's  coMt, 


HYMN  3.  11 

Where  I  siiall  sing  tlie  song  of  grace, 
iSafe  in  uiy  glorious  hiding  place. 

HYMN  3.    P.  M. 

The  garden  of  ike  Lord. 

1  nnHE  Lord  into  his  garden  comes ; 

X    The  spices  yield  a  rich  perfume, 

The  lilies  grow  iiud  thrive  : 
Refreshing  showers  of  grace  divine. 
From  Jesus  flows  to  every  vine, 

And  makes  his  people  one. 

2  O  that  this  dry  and  ban-en  ground 
In  springs  of  water  may  abound, 

A  fruitful  soil  become! 
The  deserts  blossom  as  tlie  rose. 
When  Jesus  conquers  all  his  foes, 

And  makes  his  people  one. 

3  The  glorious  time  is  rolling  on, 
The  gracious  work  is  now  begun, 

My  soul  a  witness  is ; 
I  taste  and  see  the  pardon  free, 
For  all  mankind  as  well  as  me. 

Who  come  to  Christ  may  live. 

4  The  worst  of  sinners  here  may  find 
A  Saviour  pitiful  and  kind, 

Who  will  thera  all  receive  ! 
None  are  too  vile  who  will  repent : 
Out  of  one  sinner  legions  went ; 

Jesus  did  him  relieve. 

5  Come,  brethren,  ye  who  love  the  Lord, 
And  taste  the  sweetness  of  his  word, 

In  Jesus'  ways  go  on  ; 
Our  troubles  and  our  trials  here, 


12  KYMN  3. 

Will  ccly  make  us  richer  there. 

When  we  arrive  at  home. 

;6  We  feel  that  heaven  is  now  begim, 

It  issues  from  the  shining  throne 

Of  Jesus  Christ  on  high ; 
It  comes  like  floods,  we  can't  contain, 
We  drink,  and  drink,  and  drink  agaiu, 

And  yet  for  more  we  cry. 

7  But  wlien  we  come  to  reign  above. 
And  all  surround  a  throne  of  love. 

We'll  drink  a  full  supply,- 
Jesus  will  lead  his  armies  through, 
To  living  fountains  where  they  flow, 

Which  never  will  run  dry. 

8  Tliere  we  shall  reign  and  shout  and  sing. 
And  make  the  heavenly  regions  ring, 

When  all  the  saints  get  hcrae  ! 
Come  on,  come  on,  my  brethren  dear. 
Soon  shall  v.^e  meet  together  there. 

For  Jesus  bids  us  come. 

9  Amen,  amen  !  mj  soul  replies, 
I'm  bound  to  meet  j  on  in  the  skies, 

And  claim  my  mansion  there  ; 
Now  here's  my  heart,  and  here's  my  haad. 
To  meet  you  in  that  heavenly  land, 

Where  we  shall  part  no  more. 

10  There,  on  that  peaceful,  happy  shore, 
We'll  sing  and  shout  our  sufl''rings  o'er. 

In  sweet  redeeming  love  : 
We'll  shout  and  praise  our  conq'ring  King, 
Who  died  himself  that  he  might  bring 

Us,  rebels,  home  to  God.

HYMN  4.    r.  M. 

The  jewels  of  the  Lord. 

1  ^'^E  jewels  cf  my  Master, 

•*•     Who  shine  with  heavenly  rays, 
Amid  the  keanis  of  glory 
Reflect  innTortal  blaze, 
Ye  diamonds  of  beauty, 
With  pleasing  lustre  crovvn'd, 
Of  heavenly  extraction, 
To  Zion's  city  bound. 

2  Ye  lambs  of  my  Redeemer, 
The  purchase  of  his  blood, 
Who  feed  among  the  lilies. 
Beside  the  purple  flood; 
Go  on,  ye  happy  pilgrims, 
Your  journey  still  pursue. 
And  at  a  humble  distance, 
I'll  sing  and  follow  too. 

3  When  I  beheld  your  order, 
And  harmony  of  soul, 

And  heard  divinest  numbers 
In  pure  devotion  roll. 
And  gems  immortal  glowing 
With  such  enliven'd  grace, 
I  view'd  the  Saviour's  imago 
Impress'd  on  every  face. 

4  Speak  often  to  each  other, 
To  cheer  the  fainting  mind  \ 
And  often  be  your  Toices 
In  pure  devotion  join'd  ; 


.14  HYMN  4. 

Though  trials  may  await  you. 
The  crown  before  you  lies; 
Take  courage,  brother  pilgrims^ 
And  soon  you'll  win  the  prize. 

5  Ye  shall  be  mine,  says  Jesus, 
In  that  auspicious  day. 
When  I  make  up  my  jewels. 
Released  from  cumb'rous  clay; 
He'll  polish  and  refine  you 
From  worthless  dross  and  sin. 
And  to  his  heavenly  kingdom. 
Will  bid  you  enter  in. 

6  On  that  important  morning. 
When  bursting  thunders  sound. 
And  nimble  lightnings  waving. 
Shall  wing  the  gloom  profound  : 
Lift  up  your  heads  rejoicing, 
And  clap  your  joyful  hands; 
Lo,  you're  redeera'd  forever. 
From  death's  coriupted  bands. 

7  As  Aaron  on  his  girdle, 
In  shining  jewels  drest. 
Bore  all  the  tribes  of  Israel 
Inscribed  upon  his  breast; 
So  will  the  Priest  of  Zion, 
Before  the  Father's  throne, 
Present  the  heirs  of  glory. 
And  God  the  kindred  own. 

8  The  golden  bells  will  echo 
Around  the  sacred  hill  ; 


HYM?f  6.  IS 

And  sweet  immortal  antbemg 
The  vocal  regions  fill  ; 
In  everlasting  beauty, 
The  shining  millions  stand. 
Safe  on  the  rock  of  ages. 
Amid  the  promised  laud. 
9  We'll  range  the  wide  dominion 
Of  our  Redeemer  round, 
And  in  dissolving  rapture 
Be  lost  in  love  profound  ; 
While  all  the  flaming  harpera 
Begin  the  lasting  song, 
With  hallelujahs  rolling 
From  the  unnumber'd  throng. 

HY3IN  5.    P.  M 

BRETHREN,  while  we  sojourn  here; 
Plight  we  must,  but  should  not  fear. 
Foes  we  have,  but  we've  a  Friend, 

One  that  loves  us  to  the  end  ; 
Forward  then  with  courage  go, 

Long  we  shall  not  dwell  below; 
Soon  the  joyful  news  will  come, 

Child,  your  Father  calls— Come  homo. 
In  the  world  a  thousand  snares 

Lay  to  take  as  unawares; 
Satan  with  malicious  art. 

Watches  each  unguarded  heart; 
But  from  Satan's  malice  free. 

Saints  shall  soon  victorious  be; 
5oon  the  joyful  news  will  come. 

Child,  your  Father  calls — Ccbmj  kotne. 


16  riYji:\:  c. 

3  But  of  all  the  woes  v.s  meet, 

None  so  apt  to  turn  our  leet; 
None  betray  v.s  into  sin, 

Like  the  toes  we  have  within; 
Yet  let  nothing  spoil  your  peace, 

Christ  will  also  conquer  these; 
Then  the  joyful  news  will  come. 

Child,  your  Father  calls— Come  home 

HYMN  6.    P.  M. 

1  'in HE  Son  of  m:ui  tliey  did  betray; 

JL    He  was  condemn'cl  and  led  away^ 
Think^  O  my  goul  on  that  dread  daj-. 

Look  c.Yi  mount  Calvaiy. 
Behold  him  lamblike  led  alopj, 
Suri'ounded  by  a  M'icked  throng, 
Acru?ed  by  each  lying  tong»c. 
And  then  the  Lamb  of  God  they  hung 

L^pon  the  shameriil  tree. 

2  'Twas  thus  the  gloilnus  sufferer  stood. 
With  han  Is  and  feet  naii'd  to  the  Wi;od; 
Frcan  every  wound  a  stream  of  blood 

Came  ficvi'ing  down  amain; 
His  bitter  groans  ail  nature  shook. 
The  earth  to  its  frm  centre  rock'd, 
The  sleeping  saints  their  graves  forsook, 
"While  ppiteful  Jews  around  him  mock'd. 

And  laughed  at  his  pain, 
o  No'.v  hung  between  the  earth  and  skies. 
Behold  !  in  agonies  he  dies  ; 
O,  sinners,  hear  his  Uicurnfu!  cries, 

Come,  see  ?'is  tort'ring  pain; 
The  morning  sun  withdrew  his  light,  : 
Elush'd  and  rcfased  to  view  the  sight; 


HYMN  6.  ir 

The  azure  cloth'd  in  robes  of  night, 
All  nature  mourn'd  and  stood  affright, 
When  Christ  the  Lord  was  slain. 

4  Hark  !  men  and  angels  hear  the  Son, 
He  cries  for  heJp,  but  O  there's  none. 
He  treads  the  wine  press  all  alone, 

His  garments  stain'd  \vith  blood. 
In  lamentations  hear  him  cry; 
"  Eloi,  lama  sabacthani !" 
Thongli  death  may  close  his  languid  eyea. 
He  soon  will  mount  the  upper  skies. 

The  conq'ring  Son  of  God. 

5  The  Jews  and  Romans  in  a  band. 
With  hearts  of  steel  around  him  stand. 
And  mocking  say,  "  Come  save  the  land, 

Come,  try  thyself  to  fjee." 
A  soldier  pierc'd  him  when  lie  dy'd  ; 
Thence  healing  streams  came  from  his  aide; 
And  thus  mv  Lord  was  crucify'd. 
Stern  justice  now  is  satisiy  cl. 

Sinners,  for  you  and  me  ! 

6  Behold  !  he  mounts  the  throne  of  state. 
He  fills  the  mediatorial  seat, 

While  millions  bowing  at  his  feet, 

With  loud  hosannas  tell  : 
Though  he  endur'd  exquisite  pains, 
He  led  the  monster  death  in  chains  ; 
Ve  seraphs,  raise  your  highest  strains, 
W'ith  music  fill  bright  Eden's  plains, 
He  couquer'd  death  and  hell. 

7  'Tis  done  !  the  dreadful  debt  is  paid, 
The  great  atonement  now  is  made  : 
Sinners,  in  him  your  guilt  was  laidj, 

For  you  he  spilt  his  blood.

HYMN  8.    L.  M. 

1  "VrOUNG  people  all,  attention  give, 

i     While  I  address  you  in  God's  name,' 
Ye,  who  in  sin  and  folly  live, 

Come  hear  the  counsels  of  a  friend. 

2  I've  sought  for  bliss  in  glittering  toys, 

And  rang'd  the  .luring  scenes  of  vice, 
But  never  kne^v  substantia*!  jovs, 
Until  I  heard  my  Saviour's  Voice. 

3  He  spake  at  once  my  sins  forgiven. 

And  took  my  load  of  guilt  away, 
He  gave  me  glory,  peace,  and  heaven/ 
And  thus  I  found  the  heavenly  way. 

4  And  now,  with  trembling  sense  I  view 

Huge  billows  roll  beneath  your  feet ; 
For  death  eternal  waits  for  jou, 

Who  slight  the  force  of  gospel  truth. 
6  Youth,  like  the  spring,  will  soon  be  gone' 

By  fleeting  time,  or  conquering  death, 
Y''our  morning  sun  may  set  at  noon. 

And  leave  you  ever  in  ti^e  dark. 

6  Your  sparkling  eyes  and  blooming  cheeks 

Must  wither  like  the  blasted  rose; 
The  cofSn,  muffler,  winding  sheet, 
Will  soon  your  active  limbs  enclose. 

7  Ye  heedless  ones,  that  wildly  stroll. 

The  grave  will  soon  become  your  bed, 
Where  silence  reigns  and  vapois  roll 

In  solemn  darkness  round  your  head. 
3  Your  friends  will  p^ass  the  lonesome  place, 

And  with  a  sigh  move  slow  along. 
Still  gazing  on  the  spires  of  grass. 

With  which  your  graves  are  overgrown., 


HYiMN  d.  n 

9  Your  souls  Avill  land  in  darker  realms. 

Where  vengeance  reigns  and  billows  roar, 
And  roll  amidst  the  burning  flames. 

When  thousand,  thousand  years  are  o'er. 

10  Still  sunk  in  shades  of  endless  night, 

To  groan  and  howl  in  ceaseless  pain, 
And  never  more  behold  the  light, 
And  never,  never ^ise  again. 

11  Y^e  blooming  youth,  this  is  the  state 

Of  all  who  do  free  grace  refuse ; 
And  soon  with  you  'twill  be  too  late. 
The  way  of  life  is  Christ  to  choose. 

12  Come,  lay  your  carnal  weapons  by. 

No  longer  fight  against  your  God, 
But  with  the  gospel  now  comply, 

And  heaven  shall  be  your  great  reward.

Come,  stand  the  flame,  till  it  is  won  ; 
Some  souls  are  wounded,  ethers  fell : 
Our  Lord  is  saving  souls  from  hell. 

5  Vfhcn  Israel  came  to  Jerico, 
Began  to  pray,  to  shout  and  b1ov\',

And  with  no  weapons  but  his  light ;

And  storm'd  with  ease  the  3Iidian  camp.

Found  Zion's  King  was  still  the  same ; 
Young  David's  weapon  was  but  dull. 
Yet  broke  Goliah's  brazen  skull. 

8  Saint  Paul  and  Silas,  bound  in  jail. 
Would  sing  and  pray  in  spite  of  hell ; 
They  made  the  prison  loudly  ring. 
Although  oppos'd  by  hell's  dark  king. 

9  Behold,  what  giants  gi-eat  and  tall, 

And  Christ's  poor  lambs,  but  few  and  small; 
But  Jesus,  Jesus,  is  my  friend. 
He'll  help  me  fight  unto  the  eiid.

See  what  errplojoient  men  pnrsu*, 
Then  you  will  own  idj  words  are  true, 
Jesus  alone  unfolds  to  view 

Sources  of  real  pleasure. 
Poor  are  the  joys  that  fools  esteem, 

Fading  and  transitory; 
Mirth  is  as  fleeting  as  a  dream, 

Or  a  delusive  story; 
Luxury  leaves  a  sting  behind, 
V\^ounding  the  body  and  the  mind, 
Only  in  Jesus  can  we  find 

Pleasure  and  solid  glory. 
Learning,  that  boasted,  glittering  thing 

Scarcely  is  worth  possessing; 
Riches,  forever  on  the  wing, 

Scarce  can  be  called  a  blessing; 
Fame,  like  a  shadow  flies  away, 
Titles  and  dignities  decay. 
Nought  but  religion  can  display 

Joys  that  are  free  from  trouble. 
Beauty  with  all  its  gaudy  show, 

Is  but  a  painted  bubble; 
Short  are  the  triumphs  wit  bestow, 

Full  of  deceit  and  trouble; 
And  sensual  pleasures  swell  desire. 
Just  as  the  fuel  feeds  the  fire; 
Onlj  religion  can  inspire, 

Bliss  that  is  worth  possessing.

'  '     Upon  my  fellow  clay; 
See  men  reject  the  gospel  sound. 
Good  God  !  what  shall  I  say  ? 

2  O  pinners,  sinners,  will  you  hear, 

When  in  God's  name  I  come? 
Upon  your  peril  don't  forbear. 
Lest  hell  should  be  your  doom.

3  Now  is  the  time,  the  accepted  hour, 

O  sinners!  come  away; 
The  Saviour's  knocking  at  your  door/ 
Arise  without  delay. 

4  Do  not  rcfu?e  to  give  him  room, 

Lest  mercy  should  withdraw; 
He'll  then  in  rohes  of  vengeance  corns 
To  execute  his  law. 

5  Then  where,  poor  sinner,  will  you  be. 

If  destitute  of  grace, 
When  you  your  injur  d  Judge  shall  see. 
And  stand  before  his  face  ? 

6  O  could  you  shun  that  dreadful  sight, 

How  would  you  wish  to  fly 
To  the  dark  shades  of  endless  night 
Fro^n  that  all  searching  eye. 

7  But  death  and  hell  must  all  appear, 

And  you  among  them  stand, 
Before  the  great  impartial  bar 
Arraign'd  at  Christ's  left  hand. 

8  lio  yearning  bowel's  pity  then

As  Jesus  appears  in  your  view, 

As  he  is  beloved  br  not; 
Fo  God  is  disposed  to  you, 

And  mercy  or  wrath  is  your  lot. 

2  Some  take  him  a  creature  to  be, 
A  man,  or  an  angel  at  most ; 

Sure  these  have  not  feelings  like  me. 

Nor  know  themselves  wretched  and  lost  : 

So  guilty,  so  helpless  am  I, 

I  could  not  coiiiide  in  hijs  word. 

Nor  on  his  protection  rely. 

Unless  I  could  call  him  my  Lord. 

3  Some  call  him  a  Saviour  in  word. 

But  mix  tlieir  o\a  n  works  with  the  plan  ; 
And  hope  he  his  help  will  afford, 

When  they  have  done  all  that  they  can. 
Ifdoing.^  prove  rather  too  light, 

(A  little  they  own  they  may  fail,) 
Thoy  pm-pose  to  make  up  full  weight 

By  casting  his  name  in  the  scale. 

4  Some  style  him  the  pearl  of  great  price. 
And  say,  he's  the  fountain  of  joys; 

Yet  feed  upon  folly  and  vice. 

And  cleave  to  the  world  and  its  toys  : 

Like  Judas,  the  Saviovxr  lliey  ki.ss. 
And  wUile  they  salute  him,  betray. 

Ah  I  what  will  profe?sion  like  tlii.*, 
Avail  in  that  terrible  day  1 

5  If  ask'd  what  of  Jesus  I  think, 

Though  still  my  best  thoughts  are  but  poor, 
I  say  he's  my  meat  and  my  drink, 

My  life,  and  my  strength,  and  my  store; 
My  shepherd,  my  husLand,  my  friend.

The  heavenly  Mariner. 

1  mHROUGH  tribulations  deep 

-*-    The  way  to  glory  is. 

This  stormy  course  I  keep, 

On  these  tempestuous  seas. 
By  waves  and  wiijds  I'm  tost  and  driveOj 
Freighted  with  grace  and  bound  to  heaven. 

2  Sometimes  temptations  blow 
A  dreadful  huricaue, 

And  high  the  waters  flow, 

And  o'er  the  sides  break  in; 
But  still  my  little  r-hip  outbraves 
The  blust'ring  wind;5  and  surging  wares. 

3  When  I,  in  my  distress. 
My  anchor,  hope  can  cast 
Within  the  promises. 

It  holds  my  vessel  fast; 
Safely  she  then  at  anchor  rides, 
'Midst  stormy  blasts  and  swelling  tides. 

4  If  a  dead  calm  ensues, 
And  heaven  no  breezes  give, 
The  oar  of  prayer  I  use, 
And  tug  and  toil  and  strive ; 

Through  storms  and  calms  for  many  a  day» 
I  make  but  very  little  way. 

5  But  when  a  heavenly  breeze 
Springs  up  and  fills  my  sail,

Before  the  p'£a:?ant  gale. 
And  runs  as  much  an  hour,  or  mora. 
As  in  a  month  or  two  before. 

6  Hid  by  the  clouds  from  sight, 
The  sun  doth  not  appear, 
Nor  can  I  in  the  night 
Behold  the  moon  or  star; 

Sometimes  for  days  and  weeks  or  raor«, 
I  Qannot  see  the  sky  or  shore. 

7  As  at  the  time  of  noon 
iVK'  quadrant,  faith,  I  take, 
'lo  view  my  Christ,  my  sua, 
If  he  the  cloud:?  should  break, 

I'm  happy  when  his  f:ice  I  see, 
I  know  then  whereabout  I  be, 

8  The  Bible  is  my  chart. 
By  it  the  seas  I  know, 
I  cannot  with  it  part, 

It  rocks  and(sand:i  doth  show. 
It  is  a  chart  and  compass  too, 
Who::.c  needle  points  forever  true. 

9  I  keep  aloof  from  pride, 
Those  rocks  I  pass  with  care; 
I  studiously  avoid 

The  whirlpool  of  despair. 
Presumption's  quicksands  top  I  shun. 
Near  them  I  do  not  choose  to  run.    "

In  spite  of  ail  my  care, 
But  that  the  Holy  Ghost 
Himself  vouchsafes  to  steer. 

And  I  through  all  my  voyage  will 
Depend  upon  ray  Steersman  still. 

12  Ere  I  reach  heaven's  coast, 

I  must  a  gulf  pass  through,  , 

Which  dreadful  proves  to  most,  • 
For  all  this  passage  go. 

But  all  death's  waves  can't  me  o'erwhelahj 

If  God  himself  is  at  the  helm. 

13  When  through  this  gulf  I  get, 
Though  rough,  it  is  but  short, 
The  pilot  angels  meet, 

To  bring  me  into  port.

at  thy  feet ; 
To  sacrifice  ofler  my  soul,  flesh  and  blood  ; 
Thou  art  my  Redeemer  who  bro't  me  to  God, 

2  I  love  thee,  I  love  ;h3e,  I  love  lhee,my  love, 
I  love  thee,  my  Saviour,  I  love  thee,  my  Dove; 
I  love  thee,  I  love  thee,and  that  thou  dost  know. 
But  ho \T  much  I  love  thee,  I  never  can  show. 
8  All  human  expressions  are  empty  and  vain, 
They  cannot  unriddle  the  heavenly  flame  ; 
I'm  sure  if  the  tongue  of  an  angel  were  mine,

My  life  and  salvation,  my  joy  and  my  rest ! 
Thy  name  be  my  tlieme,  and  thy  love  be  my

Yet  who  that  knov.s  the  worth  of  prayer, 
But  wishes  to  be  often  there.

Prayer  climbs  the  ladder  Jacob  saw; 
Gives  exercise  to  faith  and  love. 

Brings  every  blessing  from  above. 

3  Restraining  prayer,  we  cease  to  fight, 
Prayer  makes  die  Christian's -armor  bright;' 
And  Satan  trembles  when  he  sees 

The  weakest  saint  upon  his  knees.

Vengeance  wails  the  dread  command, 
Soon  will  stop  your  sport  and  prido. 

And  sink  you  with  the  daran'd.

Ere  you  are  aware,  you  II  drop

That  you  his  will  oppose  .' 
Fear  you  not  that  iron  rod 

With  which  he  breaks  his  foes .' 
Can  you  stand  in  that  great  day, 

When  his  judgment  will  proclaim  ! 
Rocks  and  mountains  melt  away,

All  your  sins  will  round  you  crowd  ;

Each  for  vengeance  cry  aloud, 

And  what  will  you  reply  ? 

4  Though  your  hearts  arg  rr;ndc  of  steel. 

Your  foreheads  lin'd  with  brass, 
God  at  length  will  make  you  feel, 

He  will  not  let  you  pass. 
Sinners  then  in  vain  will  call, 

(Though  they  now  despise  his  grace,) 
Kocks  and  mountains  on  us  fall, 

And  hide  us  from  his  face. 

5  But  as  yet  there  is  a  hope, 

You  may  his  mercy  j^now  ; 
Though  his  arm  be  lifted  up, 

lie  still  forbears  the  blow,

Sinners  he  invites  to  come  : 
None  that  come  shall  be  denied.

To  Gentile  nations,  and  to  Jews. 

2  Permit  me  now  my  griefs  to  tell, 
What  my  poor  heart  does  often  feel ;

5  Day  alter  day  I  do  them  see ; 
J ';      I  pray  them  to  attend  to  me ; 

But  many  still  in  sin  remain,. 

Which  gives  to  my  poor  heavt  fresh  pain. 

4  Til  is  is  not  all  I  undergo, 

I  have  to  face  cold  winds  and  snow. 
And  often  through  the  desert  I'ide, 
To  seek  ray  master,  Christ,  a  bride. 

6  Through  sultry  glebes  T  often  pant, 
Till  my  poor  spirit's  almost  faint : 
The  scorching  beams  are  so  severe, 
I  long  for  one  cool  breath  of  air. 

6  Now  clouds  arise,  and  thunders  roar. 
The  lightnings  flash,  and  torrents  pour  : 
Creation  trembles  at  the  sound. 

Till  I  am  wet  and  almost  drow  n'd. 

7  Through  creeks  and  rivers  swift  and  wide/ 
It  often  is  my  lot  to  ride ; 

Perhaps  beat  down  some  time  before 
I  safe  can  reach  the  other  shore. 

8  Hunger  and  thirst  my  body  wear  : 

O  would  some  friend  my  spirits  chear ; 
And  oftentimes,  for  want  of  clothes. 
By  night  or  day,  I'm  almost  froze. 

9  Sometimes  I  do  false  brethren  meet. 
Whose  hearts  are  filled  witli  deceit; 
They  seem  to  treat  me  kind  at  fi'Tst, 
But  of  all  men  they  are  the  worst. 

10  My  natural  brethren  oft  cry  out, 
"I  wonder  what  he  is  about ; 
Through  trouble,  sorrow,  toil  and  strife  ; 
He  surely  does  not  love  his  life  !"

Which  makes  me  bid- my  frisiida  farewell. 

12  The  worth  of  souls  lies  near  my  heart; . 
This  mov'd  me  from  my  frieiids  to  j)art  ; 
I  must  obey  ray  Master's  call.

While  I  am  trav'lliMg  north  and  south  ; 
May  he  own  me  and  bless  his  word, 
In  bringing  sinners  to  the  Lord.

■^*-  One  Daniel  there  was  found* 
Whose  unexampled  piety 

Astonish'd  all  around  ; 
They  saw  him  very  pious. 

And  faithful  to  the  Lord, 
Three  times  a  day  he  bowed. 

To  supplicate  his  God. 

2  Among  the  king's  high  princes, 

This  Daniel  was  the  first, 
The  king  preferr'd  this  Hebrew 

For  wisdom  he  possess'd  ; 
And  now  his  high  preferment 

Occasion 'd  jealousy, 
The  princes  sought  his  ruin, 

Obtain'd  a  firm  decree  : 
8  If  any  man  or  woman 

A  supplication  bring. 
For  thirty  days  ensuing. 

Excepting  to  the  king, 
To  any  lord  or  monarch. 

Or  any  other  man. 
They  should,  Avithout  distinction, 

Fall  in  the  lions'  den.

4  And  new  when  David  knew  it. 

Into  Ills  house  he  went. 
To  beg  his  God's  protection 

Is  now  his  whole  intent; 
His  windows  being  open, 

Before  his  God  he  bo\ii*d, 
The  princes  were  assernbkd. 

And  saw  him  worship  God. 

5  They  came  to  king  Darius, 

And  spake  of  his  decree, 
Saying,  "  This  Hebrevv  Daniel 

Doth  nothing  care  for  thee  : 
Before  his  God  he  boweth 

Three  tiujes  in  every  day, 
With  ail  his  windows  open, 

And  we  have  heard  him  pray.*' 
t  Now  when  Darius  knew  it, 

liis  soul  did  sore  lament ; 
His  heart  was  set  on  Daniel, 

The  sentence  to  prevent : 
The  princes  then  assembled, 

And  to  the  king  they  said, 
"  Hemember  your  great  tionor, 

Likewise  the  law  you  made.'* 
7  The  king  he  then  commanded, 

That  Daniel  should  be  brought, 
And  ca^'t  into  the  lions'  den, 

Because  iiis  God  besought  ; 
The  king  then  said  to  Daniel 

"  The  God  whom  you  adore. 
Will  save  you  from  the  lions'  rage 

And  bless  you  evermore."

^8  The  kin.^  went  to  his  palace, 

And  fasted  all  the  night, 
He  neither  eat  nor  slept, 

No  music  could  dolight  ; 
Then  early  the  next  morning, 

lie  starred  on  his  way, 
And  came  unto  the  lions'  den. 

Where  this  bold  Hebrew  lay. 
9  Then  with  the  voice  of  mourning, 

To  Daniel  cry'd  aloud, 
Saying,  "Daniel,  O  Daniel  ! 

Thou  servant  of  the  Loid  1 
Is  not  thy  God  sufficient 

For  to  deliver  thee. 
The  God  v^'honi  thou  dost  worship 

And  serve  continually?" 

10  '*  My  Lord  hns  sent  hi?  ai.gel 

And  shut  the  lions'  jaw. 
So  that  they  have  not  hurt  me. 

My  innocence  they  saw." 
The  king  he  then  commanded 

To  take  him  fron)  the  den, 
Because  in  God  he  tru:-ted, 

No  har;n  wls  f»«nd  in  him, 

11  See  how  this  righteous  Daniel 

Fear'd  not  the  face  of  clay, 
Not  all  the  king's  commandments 

Could  make  him  ce;;se  to  pray: 
He  knew  that  God  was  with  him. 

To  save  his  soul  f.om  death, 
He  trusted  in  Jehovah, 

And  pray'd  at  every  breath. 


«9  HYMN  36. 

12  The  king  he  then  commanded 

Those  wretches  to  be  brought, 
Wlio  had  with  so  much  boldness. 

The  life  of  Daniel  sought ; 
On  women,  men,  and  children. 

The  sentence  being  past. 
Among  the  angrv  lions, 

Those  sinners  ihey  were  cast, 

13  The  lions  rush'd  with  vengeance 

Upon  those  wicked  men. 
And  tore  them  all  in  pieces, 

Ere  to  the  ground  they  came. 
Thus  God  will  save  his  children 

Who  put  their  trust  in  hira, 
And  punish  their  offenders 

With  agonies  extreme. 

14  Now  Daniel's  God  is  gracious 

To  all  his  children  dear; 
He  gives  them  consolation,

But  ns  oft  as  the  trumpet  should  blow, 
They  all  glad  of  a  diance  of  a  further  advance, 
Must  tiien  take  up  their  baggage  and  go.

Which  lipfore  me  has  hitherto  gono  ;  [move. 

For  that  pillar  of  love  which  still  forward  doth 
And  will  gather  our  souls  into  one. 

4  Now  the  cross  bearing  throng  are  advancing 

along, 
,  And  a  closer  communion  doth  flov/. 
Now  all  wiio  woull  stand  on  the  premised  land, 
Let  them  take  up  their  crosses  and  go.

Which  in  Canaan's  rich  vallies  doth  grow^; 
Although  millions  of  foes  should  rise  up  and

I  will  lake  up  my  cross  and  go.

terror  and  fear. 
And  complain  of  the  trials  they  meet : 
Though  the  giants  befoi*  ^vith  great  fury  do

I'm  resolved  I'll  never  retr^t.

For  no  ))lace  here  of  refi'ge  I  tee, 

Till  I  come  to  tlie  spot  and  inherit  the  lot. 
Which  the  Lord  God  will  give  unto  me. 

12  Now  'tis  union  I  feeek  with  the  pure  and 

the  meek, 
So  an  end  to  oil  discord  and  strife;   [prize, 
Since  I  have  fix'd  mine  eyes  on  the  lieavenly

13  If  I  am  faithful  and  true,  and  my  journey 

pursue. 
Till  I  stand  on  the  heavenly  shore, 
I  shall  joyfully  see  what  a  blessing  to  me. 
Was  the  mortifying  cross  I  bore. 

14  Since  these  losses  are  gain,  I  will  never

The  Chrisfian  uniform. 

1  "FOREST  uniform  Clirist's  soldiers  are, 
mJ'  When  duty  calls  abroad  ; 

Not  purchas'd  at  their  cost  or  care. 
But  by  their  Prince  bestow'd: 

2  Christ's  soldiers  eat  the  bread  of  life, 

Wear  regimental  dress, 
'Tis  heavenly  white,  and  fac'd  with  red  j 

Christ  is  our  righteousness. 
D  A  bright  and  sightly  robe  it  iij. 

And  to  the  soldier  dear  ; 
No  rose  can  learn  to  blush  like  this. 

Or  lily  lock  so  fair. 

4  'Tis  wrought  by  Jesus'  f^kilful  hand. 

And  stain'd  in  hiy  own  blood; 
It  makes  the  angels  gaze  and  stand. 
To  view  this  robe  of  God. 

5  'Tis  of  one  piece,  and  wove  throughout 

So  curiously,  there's  none 
Can  dress  uj)  in  this  uniform, 
Till  Jesus  puts  it  on. 

6  This  vesture  never  wears  old. 

No  spot  thereon  can  fall ; 
It  makes  the  solaiers  brii-k  and  bcldj 
And  dutiful  withal. 


73  HYMN  48. 

7  No  art  of  man  can  weave  this  robe, 
'Tis  of  such  mixture  fine ; 
Nor  can  the  worth  of  all  this  globe. 
By  purchase  make  it  mine. 
S  Christs'  soldiers,  d rest  up  in  this  robe. 
In  order  march  along  ; 
Christ  Jesus  is  our  leader  now, 
And  conscience  beats  the  drum. 

9  Lord,  dress  us  in  this  robe  each. day, 

And  it  M'ill  hide  our  shame  ; 
It  makes  us  fight  'gainst  sin,  and  pray 
And  bless  our  Captain's  name. 

10  The  trumpet  sounds  by  Christ's  command, 

A  long  and  joyful  sound  ; 
The  soldiers  shout  and  praise  their  King, 
And  spread  his  fame  around.

Thy  earthly  tent  must  shortly  fall, 

And  thou  must  take  thy  (light 
Beyond  (he  vast  extensive  blu6. 
To  sing  above  as  angeis  do. 

Or  sink  in  endless  night. 

4    How  great  the  bliss,  how  great  the  Wo^ 
Hangs  on  this  inch  of  time  below, 

On  this  precarious  breath; 
The  Lord  of  nature  only  knows, 
Whether  another  year  shall  close, 

Ere  I  expire  in  death. 

6  Long  ere  the  sun  lias  run  his  round, 
I  may  be  buried  under  ground, 

And  there  in  silence  rot. 
Alas  !  an  hour  may  close  the  scene, 
And  ere  twelve  months  shall  roll  between.

Behold  the  living  waters  flow, 
Come  drink — and  thirst  no  more.

COME  all  ye  raourninf;  pilgrinxg. 
Who  feel  your  ueed  of  Chiist, 
SurrouVided  by  temptation. 

And  by  the  world  despia'd  ; 
Attend  to  what  I  tell  yea, 

My  exercise  I'll  show, 
And  then  you  may  inform  me 

If  it's  been  so  with  you. 
Long  liaie  I  liv"d  in  darkness, 

And  saw  n)y  dismal  state, 
And  when  I  was  awaken'd, 

I  thought  it  was  too  late. 
A  lost  and  helpless  sinner 

Myself  I  plainly  saw, 
Expos'd  to  God's  displeasure, 

Condemned  by  the  law. 
I  thought  the  brute  creation 

Were  better  oft' than  me  : 
I  spent  my  days  in  anguish, 

No  pleasure  could  I  see. 
Through  deep  distress  and  sorror/ 

My  Savior  led  me  on, 
He  show'd  his  love  unto  me 

When  all  my  hope  was  gone. 
But  when  T  was  deliver'd, 

I  scarcely  could  believe, 
To  think  so  vile  a  sinner 

A  pardon  could  receive. 
And  when  the  solemn  praises 

Were  flowing  from  my  tongue» 


188  HTxM??  69.'' 

Yet  fears  were  often  rising, 

That  I  migiit  still  be  wrong. 
6  But  when  these  fears  were  baniah'd 

My  tears  began  to  flow, 
To  think  so  vile  a  sinner 

Should  be  beloved  so. 
I  thought  my  trials  over. 

And  aU  my  troubles  gone, 
That  peace  and  joy  and  pleasure 

Would  be  my  lot  alone. 

6  But  now  I  find  a  warfare, 

Which  often  brings  me  low, 
The  world,  the  flesh  and  Satan, 

They  do  beset  uie  .so  ; 
Can  one  that  is  a  christian, 

Have  such  a  heart  as  mine  ? 
I  fear  I  never  felt  the 

Effects  of  love  divine- 

7  And  when  T  see  young  conveiia 

How  swiftly  they  go  on. 
How  shining  their  experience, 

They  v/itness  like  the  sun  : 
How  bold  they  speak  for  Jesus, 

How  dearly  love  his  name, 
Though  they  are  my  delight,  ihef 

Do  put  my  soul  to  shame. 

8  I  find  I'rn  often  backward 

To  do  my  master's  will, 
Or  else  I  want  the  glory 

Gfwhat  Idofulfil: 
In  duty  I  am  weak,  and 

Alas  !  I  often  find 


HYMN  70.  109 

A  hard  deoeitful  heart,  and 

A  wretcned  Avand'riug  mind. 
.  d  Sure  others  do  not  feel  what 

Is  often  felt  by  me, 
Such  trials  and  temptations 

Perhaps  they  never  see  ; 
For  I'm  the  chief  of  sinners, 

I  freely  own  with  Paul, 
And  if  1  am  a  Christian, 

I  am  the  least  of  all. 
10  And  now  I  have  related 

The  trials  I  have  seen, 
Perhaps  my  brethren  know  what 

Such  sore  temptations  mean, 
I've  told  you  of  my  confiicls, 

Believe  me,  for  'tis  true. 
And  now  you  may  inform  me 

If  it's  been  so  with  yoa.

Before  I  sunk  within  the  grave^,

G  Obey  the  Gof=pe!  •all, 

And  enter  while  you  may;

And  none  are  safe  but  they.

Their  awful  slate  to  see ; 
And  make  them,  e'er  the  storms  arise, 

To  thee  for  safety  flee. 

HYMN  89.    C.  M. 

1  TN  evil  long  I  took  delight, 
-«-   Unaw'd  by  shame  or  fear, 
Till  a  new  object  struck  my  sight, 
And  stopt  my  wild  career. 
3  I  saw  one  hanging  on  a  tree, 
In  agonies  of  blood; 
He  fixed  his  languid  eyes  on  me. 
As  near  his  cross  I  stood. 
f3  Sure  never  till  my  latest  breatli. 
Shall  I  forget  that  look ; 
He  seem'd  to  Charge  me  with  hie  death. 
Though  Bot  a  word  he  epoke. 


134  HYMN  90. 

4  My  conscience  felt  and  owned  the  guilt. 

And  plunged  me  in  despair; 

I  saw  my  sins  his  blood  had  spilt, 

And  help'd  to  nail  him  there. 

5  Alas  !  I  knew  not  Avhat  I  did, 

But  now  my  tears  are  vain  ; 
Wh^re  shall  my  trembling  soul  be  hid. 
For  I  tiie  Lord  have  slain. 

6  A  second  look  he  gave,  wliich  said, 

I  freely  all  forgive; 
This  blood  is  Ibr  thy  ransom  paid ; 
1  dy'd  that  thou  may'st  live. 

7  With  pleasing  grief  and  mournful  joy. 

My  spirits  now  were  fill'd  : 
That  I  should  such  a  life  destroy. 
Yet  live  by  him  I  kiil'd.

Prepar'd,  should  I  be  call'd  to  diel 

2  Only  this  frail  ana  ileeting  breath 
Preserves  me  from  tlie  jaws  of  death  ; 
Soon  as  it  fails,  at  once  I'm  gone, 
And  phing'd  into  a  world  unknown. 

3  Then  leaving  all  I  lov'd  below. 
To  Gad's  tribunal  1  must  go; 

Must  hear  the  Judge  pronunce  my  fate, 
And  fix  my  everlasting  state. 

4  But  could  I  bear  to  hear  him  say, 
"Depart,  accursed,  far  away ; 
With  Satan  in  the  lowest  hell 
Thou  art  forever  doom'd  to  dwell."

The  Complainer. 

1  T  SET  myself  against  the  Lord, 

A  Despis'd  his  Spirit  and  his  word. 

And  wish'd  to  take  his  place  : 
It  vex'd  me  so,  that  I  must  die, 
And  perish  to  eternity, 

Or  else  be  saved  by  grace. 

2  Of  every  preacher  I'd  complain — 

One  spoke  through  pride,  and  one  fopgaia^ 

Another's  learning's  small  : 
Oae  spoke  too  fast,  and  one  too  slow  ; 
One  pray'd  too  loud,  and  one  too  low; 

Another  had  no  call. 
Z  Some  walk  too  straight  to  make  a  show  ; 
While  others  far  too  crooked  go, 

And  both  of  these  I  scorn ; 


138  HYMN  95. 

Some,  od(j  fantastic  motions  make  ; 
Some  stoop  too  low,  some  stand  too  straight. 
No  one  is  faultless  Lorn. 

4  With  no  profassor  I  cuiild  join  ; 

Some  dress  too  mean,  and  some  too  fine, 

And  some  would  walk  too  long  ; 
Some  bad  a  ton^,  some  had  no  gi!t. 
Some  taikod  too  slow  and  some  too  swift. 
And  all  of  diem  were  wrong. 

5  I  thougl'.t  they'd  better  stay  at  home. 
Than  to  exhort  where'er  they  come, 

And  tell  us  of  their  joys. 
Tliey'd  better  keep  their  gardens  free 
From  weeds,  thriii  to  examine  me. 

And  vex  me  with  their  noise. 

•6  Kindred  and  neighbors  too  are  bad, 

And  no  true  friend  is  to  be  had  ; 

My  rulers  too  are  vile  : 
At  kngth  kind  heaven  gave  me  to  see 
The  fault  did  mostly  lie  in  me. 

And  had  done  all  tiie  v.hile. 
7  Now  I  can  hear  a  child  proclaim 
The  joyful  news,  and  praise  the  name 

Of  Jesus  Christ,  my  King  : 
I  know  no  sect,  the  saints  are  one — 
With  my  complaints  I  now  have  dene, 

And  God's  free  grace  I  sing. 
IIYUiN  95.    P.  M. 

THROUGHOUT  the  Savior's  life  we  trace 
Nothing  but  shame  and  deep  disgrace, 
No  period  else  was  seen ; 
Till  he  a  spotless  victim  fell, 
Tasting  in  soul  a  painful  hell, 
Caused  by  the  creature's  sin. 
2  On  the  cold  ground  raethinks  I  see 
My  Jesus  kne«l  and  pray  for  me, 


HYMN  96.  I8S 

For  tbif!  I  bim  adore  ; 
Seized  witli  a  chilly  sweat  tlirougliout. 
Blood-drops  did  force  their  passage  out 
Through  every  poie. 

3  A  crown  of  thorns  his  temples  bore, 
His  back  with  lashes  ali  was  tore. 

This  he  endured  fur  me  ; 
Mocking  they  pushed  him  here  and  there, 
Marking  his  way  with  blood  and  tears, 

Press'd  by  the  heavy  tree. 

4  Thus  up  the  hill  he  painful'  came, 

Round  him  they  naock'd  and  made  their  game, 
At  length  his  cross  they  rear; 
And  can  you  hear  the  Sun  of  God 
Cry  out  beneath  his  heavy  load. 
Without  one  thankful  tear  1 

5  Thus  veiled  io  humanity, 

!Te  dies  in  anguish  on  the  tree; 
What  tongue  his  grief  cau  tell '? 
The  shuddering  rocks  their  heads  recline. 
The  morning  sun  refuse  to  shine. 
When  the  Redeemer  fell. 

6  Shout,  brethren,  shout  with  joy  divine. 
He  drank  the  gall  to  give  us  wine 

To  quench  our  parching  thirst; 
Seraphs  advance  your  voices  higher. 
Bride  of  the  Lamb,  unite  the  choir, 

And  laud  the  precious  Christ.

I  feel  this  present  moment 

Resolved  to  do  his  will ; 
But  when  I  had  offended. 
The  law  trnnsgress'd,  he  mended, 
He  died,  and  then  ascended, 

To  save  my  soul  from  hell. 
8  The  j)romised  Messiah, 
I  feel  him  drawnigher. 
His  goodness  I  admire. 

And  will  revere  his  name; 
My  Saviour  is  arisen. 
And  spoke  my  sins  forgiven, 
And  I  am  bound  for  heaven. 

To  New  Jerusalem.

My  soul  he  hath  converted, 
His  love  to  me  imparted, 

I  feel  the  holy  flame  ;

Doth  all  my  passions  capture, 
And  fires  my  soul  with  rapture, 

Salvation  ia  my  theme.

I  sail  upon  the  ocean. 
With  love  and  sweet  devotion, 

Where  Jesus  ever  reigns ; 
The  breezes  blowing  clear, 
My  sails  are  faith  and  prayer, 
No  danger  will  I  fear. 

He'll  bring  me  safe  to  Ian  J.
